Apologies guys, but as you correctly predicted hfink, I just couldn't log on again or on Friday either, but strangely, straight on this morning with no issues. I can't work it out, but it has been getting progressively worse so I'm going to go through everything on my PC today and clean it all up. Hopefully that will help. It is another reason I am not committing to running another quiz myself until I can rectify the situation.

Also hope Tim is okay, possibly he has been having similar issues getting onto the site. I think he was working on a Golden Oldies quiz, possibly for today, so hopefully things are okay his side.
